Herts & Essex High School
Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
Hawkins\Brown successfully won a competition to masterplan the phased redevelopment of Herts & Essex High School to include new IT suites, refectory, sports facilities and dance studio and a new Sixth Form Centre. The project involved the refurbishment of an Edwardian schoolhouse, plus a new build teaching block and sports facilities.
The scheme has added value to the school, raising it's standing in the local community and attracting students.
We carried out a pre-planning consultation with local residents, which allowed the school to gain outline planning permission to sell three acres of the sports field to a housing developer. The permission raised the value of the site by 200%.
Improvements to the Drama facilities were completed in 2003.
